Hi All,
I'm working on a new development project with crosspoints again and wanted to get others' opinions regarding disconnect/connect timings.
My basic worldview with regard to any XP subsystem, is to have one Control XP with its own ECCON that connects to one Equipment XP. when another device is needed, I disconnect from the first and connect to the second.
I.e. a Control XP is never connected to more than one Equipment XP at any one time (I know that there are other use-cases, but this is what is most modular and scalable in my mind...)

Over the years, I have used various timing between disconnect and reconnect processes (usually 2-4 logic waves).?
I would use LWP (1d) signals for triggers...and primarily 4-series processors and possibly VC-4. of course, I'll need to consider 3-series for the next year or two until the supply issues are worked thru...

Does anyone recommend a 1-logicWave transition between Disconnect? and re-connect, or is the consensus to use a few LWs for this??
TIA!

The EXTRON HD CTL can provide this functionality. It has an HDMI pass through and a RS-232 port. You can configure the device to send an RS-232 command when HDMI signal is detected and when it drops.

Kudos to Gary and Jimel at Speco! They were very helpful on this...So with at least the N16NRN NVR with cameras connected to its internal switch, the URL for viewing Cameras is:
rtsp://admin:<password>@192.168.1.140:554/chID=X&streamType=sub
Where <password> is your password, although we ended up using an md5 encryptor for this...
and where X is the camera channel # (1-16 in this case)

The final issue was to get the Sub-stream changed from the default H.265 to H.264. This is unintuitively found in Settings/Network/Stream Settings/Substream settings
This seems to resolve the issue... (we'll see!? HaHa...)

Don’t forget to add a using System.Collection.Generic?

Cheers

I experienced one event with a 4-series having a TCP client loose connection and halt retrying, at the beginning of this year (I started a thread about it then). A reboot 'Fixed' it and I have not seen any other issues, though I've heard a few others indicate very infrequent similar issues with both TCP clients and EISC comms.? On my project with the issue, I did update the firmware (again probably around february) and haven't seen this issue again...
I agree with most that you shouldn't have to manage this, as I've had '1' on the TCP connects for 20+ years with no notable issues except the one mentioned (2,3 and now 4-series)
I did have one IP-controlled relay board that would stop communicating after ~7-10 days, but I'm very sure it was the device not Crestron. This was a very specific application so I changed this to connect only when I needed to control the relays and then disconnected again - Seems to be stable after 4-5 weeks...

I have personally changed from using a '1', to a signal driven by some start-up logic as it allows debugger testing and facilitates adding re-connect logic when needed...

Guzzup:
Though it would seem that your issue is different, I did have an issue with a Sony AVR module (back in 2018/2019) where when you disconnected the network connection to the AVR for only about 20 sec., the module would not reconnect. you had to reboot the program slot. It ended up being an issue with the S# comms that was not retrying. one of my inside Crestron Peeps fixed it and I've been using it consistently without issue since then...

My latest article, "Smart Home Technology for Detecting the Arrival of Guests” is being published by the good folks at Residential Tech Today Magazine on their web site.

Detecting when a guest arrives is both a convenience for homeowners and a frequent request made to smart home integrators by their customers.? This article looks at different solutions for detecting when guests arrive starting at the perimeter of the property and working inwards to the front door.

You can find the article here:

Thanks

I just realized that the settings in the Speco NVR to lower the compression to H.264 is only for the MAIN stream. I'm using the sub stream to keep things 'more stable'...:)
I have a call in to Speco to see how I can manage the Sub-stream...

This worked for me on a project a few years back.

TCP Port: 5951

All of those panels inherit from the class BasicTriListWithSmartObject. So if you create a list containing that type List<BasicTriListWithSmartObject>, you should be able to add your panels.?

Is this with HOME or SMW?

If SMW, I would use the 'SnapAV Wattbox v1.9' module. you can download it from snap's product page on the support tab. The module has a 'Connected' digital output that will let you know if you're communicating.
Is this what you're looking for??

What have others heard about other brands (C4, Savant, Lutron, RTI, etc.)...
Though some seem to be experiencing longer leads now, its' nothing like Crestron...
1. Is it truly just that demand for Crestron is really off the charts?
2. are other brands not being so picky about the components that they're sourcing?? if so, will we see hardware issues with them in the coming months/years?
3. I've heard some stories about increased DOA stuff with other brands (particularly Savant). can anyone confirm this?

TIA!

Thanks guys!? I figured that might be the issue...
JohnMax, This is actually a Speco NVR with (mostly) Speco cameras - Unfortunately the dealer cheaped out and has them connected directly to the NVR so I'm having to pull the streams from the NVR...
As mentioned, Stand-alone VLC works fine.? Gary at Speco showed me how to change the settings for the cameras from 265 to 264 in the 'Settings/Record/Encode' section. AND I'm using the Sub-stream instead of the Main stream, FWIW...
Still no joy...:(
VLC Codec info still says that the stream is H.265...

Hello,
? ? I have a Wattbox?WB-150-IPW-1B-2 and I have the Crestron driver currently running in SimplWindows (file name: WB-IP_Crestron_IPDriver from files database). What I would like to do (or know how to do) is poll the power even if I reboot the Crestron processor, so that the On/Off buttons on my touch panel light up automatically or manually at my button press.

Thank you, dsmith

In? my SimplSharpPro program I can define a touch panel as:

Tsw1070GV panel1 = new Tsw1070GV();
XpanelForSmartGraphics panel2 = new XpanelForSmartGraphics();
Tsw770GVpanel3 = new Tsw770GV();

If they are different panel types can I put them in a common list?

List<????> Panels = new List<????>();

If I?can?what?do?I?define?my?list?as??What?object type?would?I?be?able?to?put?panels?of?any?type?in??Thanks?you?for?any?help

I'll be nice, since this isn't a fully private medium... :-)

It was about what I expected, and nothing really new (that matters to those affected). They'll probably post a recording on the Webinars page of the website soon.

Have a system addition that will have 4 (yet to be specified) TV's connected to the outputs of a HD-DA4-4KZ-E which will be fed by a wall jack for a BYOD.

Is there a particular model of TV or even a large monitor that can allow for powering on via HDMI sync sensing? I don't have the program for this particular room and it would be great if I can specify a TV and or Monitor that will work consistently in this manner rather than a complete redo for control. TIA.
